Valerie Mead

Valerie Mead designs and makes elegant and wearable contemporary jewellery in silver and gold at her studio at the Edith Road Workshops in Oxford. New pieces are added each year to a collection of finely textured silver jewellery which features tiny details in rose gold. This collection is available direct from her workshop or via craft galleries and exhibitions throughout the UK. Individually commissioned pieces are designed and made in gold or silver for special occasions; eg.

Inspiration for these clean cut designs often comes from observations of architectural and man-made items. Simplicity of line is the aim. Valerie trained at Sheffield Polytechnic School of Art and Design, followed by a Goldsmiths' Company Graduate Apprenticeship and a Residency at South Hill Park Arts Centre in Berkshire. She works from her own studio in Oxford.
